R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services performed the dismantling and removal of the secondary side of the Yankee Atomic nuclear power plant in Rowe, MA. This complex 6-month project involved a 185 MW steam turbine generator and its ancillary equipment, including a high-pressure turbine rotor and blading, an installed low-pressure turbine rotor, the generator itself, the rotating and static exciters, and transformers.

Before work could commence, all of R. Baker & Son’s on-site employees had to complete a 40-hour safety training course conducted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Radiation detection badges were required to be worn at all times during the project. Much of the turbine dismantling was executed by utilizing the plant’s existing 100-ton bridge crane. Many of the unit’s components, such as the 115-ton turbine cover and the 178-ton generator stator, exceeded the cranes capacity and required partial dismantlement and engineered lifts. Strict lead abatement procedures were required before all burning and cutting, and all loads were radiation-tested before being transported off-site.

The veteran owned company has been in business since 1935, has over 100 employees, an exemplary safety record (We have been directly involved in four (4) sites that received VPP OSHA Safety Awards) and is financially strong (bonding capabilities over $10 Million).
